The Civic Center, Saranac Lake's community ice

The Saranac Lake Civic Center began in the 1970s, when residents involved in the Pee Wee Hockey Association set out to cover an existing natural ice rink. A macadam floor was installed to combat weather challenges, and in 1984 the Saranac Lake Ice Center, Inc. leased the space and installed plastic matting, refrigeration and artificial ice.

Five years later, in 1989, the Saranac Lake Civic Center, Inc., a not-for-profit 501C3, was created to take over the lease of the arena. By the 1999-2000 season over 34,000 user hours were logged on the ice, with everyone from tiny figure skaters and hockey players through high school athletes and adults using the Civic Center many hours every week during the winter months.

In the summer months the venue hosts a wide range of events, and the village's tradition of public skating stays open to all ages.
